Teststand

I'm using Labview to program pxi-2569 switch module to be integrated into Teststand sequence. In one step of the Teststand sequence, I want to close a couple of relays to route voltage signal to DMM. At the next sequence step, I will measure voltages using DMM, and then at the following step, I will open the relays to prepare for subsequent tests.

 

The problem is that after the closing-relay VI session ends, all closed relays will be reset to open automatically. we know PXI-2569 use latching armature relays, that means if a relay is closed, it will remain close until we send a open command to it. It seems PXI-2569 relays will remain closed in just one VI run session, all relays will be open when a VI run session ends.

 

Or I have to group the relay control codes into DMM measurement VI? Can I make independent switch control VIs that are seperated from other VIs to make my VIs more modular, and easier to duplicate?

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

The problem is due to the initialization VI that will default reset relays to open position. If the default reset choice is 'false', the relays will remain closed.

 

Thanks,
